The official world cup thread 2014

It's finally here, the opening ceremony is on at 7pm GMT (in 2 hours) and the first game starts at 9pm GMT. Really looking forward to it but sad that J-LO pulled out in the last minute from the opening ceremony. Ireland won't be competing this time round so I will be bulling for England. After all, Gerrard is a fine thing lol!!! So who is going to be watching the world cup and what country will have your support? I'm so happy to be making this thread, waiting for the world cup all year,literally lol!

Watched the last WC (South Africa) but not really into it much this time around. Then I had some friends to watch with but things have changed. Also interest in spectator sports seems to have diminished with age. In my teens and 20s I cared who won but now just figure what difference does it make?
